"The casting for 'Twilight' is over, and Isabella and Howard are freshly baked."

This was the headline of the latest issue of the Los Angeles Times' entertainment section, and after realizing that "Twilight" did not seem so simple, the Los Angeles Times sent a reporter to cover it in detail.

"Yesterday, the three-day casting of "Twilight" was all over, and the reporter of this newspaper learned the news as soon as possible and interviewed the parties. One of the most talked-about roles of Isabella and Howard was played by young rising star Kristen Brown. Stuart and British actor Robert. Thomas. Pattinson starred. Kristen. Stewart was born in 1990, is not yet 17 years old this year, was born in a family of performing arts, has starred in movies since the age of 9, and has made a brief appearance in the film "Little Mermaid", and then successively participated in "Trembling Space", "Little Ghost Thief", "Women's Territory", "Wilderness Survival" and other films, is the hope star of the new generation of America.

And Robert. Thomas. Pattinson, from the United Kingdom, born in 1986, was first engaged in modeling and performing in a theater company, after coming to Hollywood to develop, his first film work was "The Ring of the Nibelungen", in which he played a supporting role, but all the scenes were deleted when it was released, and only the performance was retained in the DVD version, and then participated in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and several film and television dramas. Newell sees the potential as limitless. “

The director in charge of the casting, Chris . Columbus, novel writer and screenwriter Stephanie. Mel and producer Lin Yuquan gave their reasons for choosing the two.

"Kristen is a very incredible actor. Under her angelic appearance and delicate temperament, there is also such a stubbornness and uninhibited from the soul, she is the most suitable interpreter of Isabella. Robert is slightly different, perhaps his temperament image is not the most suitable for Howard among the auditioners, but in him, there is a unique temperament.

At the auditions, the other actors almost all started acting as soon as they entered the chamber, trying to show how handsome they were and posing as male models. But Robert came in with his head down. Without looking up, I kept trying to see what kind of face was hidden under his hair. And in the performances that followed, I could feel his pain, and it didn't feel like his performance was lying to me, that he was already in the role of Howard. "Director Chris . Columbus said.

"When I first saw Christine. I knew she was the Isabella I was looking for, and when she performed, it made me affirm this, it's hard for you to imagine that a girl under the age of seventeen would have such amazing acting skills, as for Robert, my original choice was not him, but the actor Henry, who has starred in films such as "The Count of Monte New Cristo" and "My Secret Castle"? Cavill, but he was born in 1983 and is 24 years old, and he can't play a 17-year-old role at all. Later, there was an audition, and in the audition, Robert's watch was the most amazing. He is Howard's best fit at this stage. "Author of the novel, Stephanie . Mel.

Lin Yuquan also expressed his happiness in an interview: "This is the first time I have participated in the casting of a Hollywood movie, Christine and Robert's performances are great, and more importantly, they have their own understanding of the identity and profession of actors, which can help them go further, yes." I'm optimistic about them, and they'll be future Hollywood stars. ”

At the end of the report. It's Christine. Stuart and Robert. Thomas. Pattinson's testimonial about the success of his audition, Kristen. Stewart was generally calm: "I'm very happy to play the role of Isabella, and I'll do my best to play it well." "And Robert. Thomas. Pattinson was more excited: "It's hard to imagine that I could get the role of Howard, and I am very emotional that director Columbus, Ms. Mel and Kung Fu Lin gave me this opportunity, and I will prepare with my heart to live up to their choice." ”

The audition results of "Twilight" attracted wide media coverage, and fans of "Twilight" should be the most concerned about it. Stewart's stunning photos are the most lethal, and the fans are amazed by the photos, and the comments are almost all praises and support, and most of the actors have also been recognized by the fans.

The only exception is Robert. Thomas. Pattinson too, just like Chris. Columbus said that he was not the most suitable just for his appearance, so he was opposed by fans, who not only insulted the actor on the official website, but also strongly demanded that the actor be replaced.

But after learning this, Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel was not moved at all, it is true that Robert's appearance is not so good, but when he integrates into the performance, he is the most suitable person for Howard, it is definitely not possible to change roles, but the act of appeasing the fans must be done, since it is a fan movie, fans are the most fundamental box office guarantee, of course, try to convince them.

In Lin Yuquan, Stephanie. Mel, Chris. After Columbus gave assurances in unison, the opposing fans gradually fell silent.

After the casting of "Twilight", Lin Yuquan did not stay in the United States for a long time, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and he has to go home to pack up the decorations, and this year's New Year will be spent in Kyoto.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is February 17, and when Lin Yuquan returns to Kyoto, it is already February 11, and tomorrow the companies of Shuguang will gather together for a year-end party, and then officially start the holiday the day after tomorrow, and wait until the tenth day of the new year, that is, February 27, to resume work.

Because of the upcoming New Year, the crew of "Painted Wall" also suspended filming, and continued filming after the New Year, because there was a year-end party, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan and others did not leave the crew and immediately went home for the New Year, but returned to Kyoto first, and then went home after the year-end party.

I haven't been with everyone for a long time, and as soon as Lin Yuquan returned to Ziyu Villa, after simply cleaning up, he called everyone. Everyone is invited to gather in the evening.

Jingle bell, Lin Yuquan's phone didn't last long before the doorbell at the door of his house rang.

Lin Yuquan had a smile on his face. Usually no one will come to him, and someone arrived as soon as he finished calling, obviously Jiang Yan and Wang Luodan.

"Brother Yuquan!"

As soon as Lin Yuquan opened the door, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Liu Yifei's smiling face, as well as Jiang Yan and Wang Luodan next to her.

"Hey, Yifei. How can you be with Yanzi and Dandan! ”

"She's moving in with us now." Liu Yifei hasn't spoken yet. Wang Luodan had already said with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Yuquan, after returning to Kyoto from filming the day before yesterday, I moved in with Sister Yanzi and Sister Dandan. You won't be unwelcome, right? Liu Yifei's smile was very sweet, but her smile and her and Wang Luodan's words made Lin Yuquan's heart skip a beat.

Why did Yifei suddenly move in to live with Yanzi and Dandan, and her personality and family situation, isn't he still clear? Suddenly, Lin Yuquan had a bad feeling in his heart, and could only smile reluctantly: "Welcome, of course welcome, I have another extra rent, let's come in." Why did you come here so quickly? ”

"It's not that Yifei is urging us there, Yanzi and I were originally going to come over later." Wang Luodan said angrily.

Liu Yifei's face was slightly red, looking a little embarrassed.

Lin Yuquantou is a big one.

The four of them quickly entered the living room. After sitting down, Lin Yuquan brought drinks for the three of them.

"Yuquan, you've been tossing around in the United States a lot lately, even in China, I can often see your reports, that girl named Christine is really beautiful." Wang Luodan said with a grin.

"It's beautiful, and she's not a vase. Her acting skills are quite good, and the three of you are going to do your best. Others are now less than 17 years old, but their acting skills are not inferior to yours in any way, and even better than you in terms of acting naturally. Lin Yuquan said meaningfully.

"Is it really that powerful?" Liu Yifei's clear big eyes were slightly suspicious, and she didn't seem to believe it, her acting skills have improved a lot in the past two years, but the other party is younger than her two years ago, and she is no worse than her now.

"I think I'm bragging, but the fact is that her acting skills are really so good, and unlike you who have gone through four years of junior college study, now that she is in high school, she relies on her own filming and honing, and she has a strong understanding of acting." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"When you say that, I instantly feel so weak!" Wang Luodan said deflated.

"Me too." Jiang Yan smiled bitterly.

Liu Yifei didn't speak, puffing up her iconic cute bun face, with a little unconvincing in her eyes, the other party is so much smaller than her!

"So you guys come on, and after starring in "Twilight", if she is a qiē shun lì, she will soon become popular all over the world and become Emma. Watson is a popular youth idol star, and with her acting skills, she will be better than the current Emma . Watson went further. Lin Yuquan smiled, remembering Christine. Stewart's performance was full of admiration between his words.

"Hey, what a envy! Why didn't I get a chance to act in a movie like "Twilight", compared to that girl, I feel like I'm useless now. Wang Luodan sighed in distress.

"Are you embarrassed to say, I'm good, you and Yifei have both starred in the heroines of the Yuquan movie, which can be regarded as going international, only I have only made a cameo in "Huo Yuanjia", when will I be able to star in a decent blockbuster?" Jiang Yan glanced at Wang Luodan speechlessly and sighed.

Liu Yifei pursed her lips, but the light in her eyes grew.

"Work hard, you will all have opportunities in the future, and if you are interested, you can make cameos in "Twilight" or other movies started by Summit Entertainment at this stage to experience the feeling of filming in Hollywood." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly.

"Sounds good, okay?" Wang Luodan asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Of course, although this can't make you popular, it's a good experience, and it can also help you accumulate experience, and when you really come to Hollywood to film in the future, you can integrate into it without any obstacles." Lin Yuquan just mentioned it in passing, but now the more he talks about it, the more he feels that it is necessary.

"Okay, you have to arrange a few good roles for us, by the way, the news of your first Hollywood movie has been reported in China recently, how are you preparing for your new movie?" Jiang Yan smiled.

"One is already ready. Another is in the pipeline. Lin Yuquan twisted the cap of the bottle, took a sip of water, and said casually.

"Ahh "What. Two films? The three of them looked at Lin Yuquan in amazement, in disbelief.

"Hehe, isn't that weird? In fact, something happened in the middle. Lin Yuquan concisely told the three of them that it would take a year to make special effects for "Wild Legends: The Rise of the Ape Clan".

"Really, I guess you're the only one who did this, how could other directors be busy with other movies at once because of the long time spent doing special effects." Wang Luodan was quite speechless.

"There's nothing wrong with that, I'm who I am. It is a firework of different colors, and the sky is wide. To make the strongest bubble, as long as you feel that it is right, you should not hesitate to do it. Lin Yuquan smiled: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, how does it feel to cooperate with Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi?" ”

"That's good! Tong guò this time of cooperation. I gained a lot and gained a deeper understanding of acting. Jiang Yan chuckled.

"Yes, me too, Sister Gong Li's interpretation of the role is fantastic, there is no feeling of acting at all, on the opposite side, she has taught me a lot of experience, not only Sister Gong Li, but also Sister Ziyi. They get along very well, without the slightest shelf of international stars" Liu Yifei had cute dimples on her face, but she didn't finish her words. was interrupted by Wang Luodan.

"Please, Yifei, what are you talking about, do you think he doesn't know Yuquan? He must have known someone about the situation a long time ago. Wang Luodan glanced at Lin Yuquan narrowly.

Lin Yuquan showed a knowing smile on his face, but Liu Yifei suddenly puffed out his face and became not very happy.

Lin Yuquan's keen eyes naturally noticed this situation. He didn't know Liu Yifei's careful thoughts, and he suddenly felt a deep headache. He really didn't want to hurt this Nizi, but he didn't know what to do?

"What do you want to eat at night, let's go out and buy groceries together!"

"Okay, let's go!" "I'm going to eat that sauerkraut fish you made last time." "Braised pork is actually pretty good."

What kind of woman is this, shouldn't women like to be vegetarian for the sake of their figures? A cold sweat faintly broke out on Lin Yuquan's forehead.

But this must not be said, and soon he and the third daughter were driving in his Audi car in the garage towards the nearby supermarket.

With the help of the three daughters, the troublesome grocery shopping became extremely simple, and by the way, I also bought some bananas, apples, fructose, and snacks.

After returning to Ziyu Villa and chatting for a while, others came one after another.

After that, of course, Lin Yuquan and Liu Shishi cooked together, and friends rarely got together, and this meal was also very happy, and of course there was a lot of talk and laughter during the meal.

"Xiao Yang, the "Old Boy" you just finished filming is very good, it is funny and moving, and the degree of completion in all aspects is very high, I think it's time for you to make a real movie, how about it? Are there any plans? Lin Yuquan asked with a smile.

"Hey, it's okay!" Xiao Yang scratched his head, it was difficult to hide his pride, after his "Old Boy" was uploaded to Shuguang.com, the click rate was very high, and in less than a month, the number of hits had exceeded 20 million, and then he said distressedly: "Yes, there is, the genre is a bit similar to "Old Boy", but it seems difficult to expand the content into a formal movie. ”

"That's it! Then you get the script right first, and I'll help you think about it. Lin Yuquan chuckled.

"Yuquan, otherwise, let Xiao Yang shoot "Love Call Transfer 2", you can practice first, and there is the fame and routine of "Love Call Transfer" there, so you don't have to worry about him filming badly." Ning Hao said suddenly.

"Oh!" Lin Yuquan looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you going to make a sequel to "Love Call Transfer"?" ”

"Well, for me, making a sequel in the same pattern is really not new, and there is no motivation without freshness." Ning Hao nodded and said.

Lin Yuquan looked at Ning Hao, and he very much agreed with Ning Hao's opinion in his heart, how could he not be like this, and the movie was handed over to Xiao Yang to shoot, he was indeed relieved, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then Xiao Yang, you can shoot it!" ”

"Me, what's going to do?" Xiao Yang's eyes widened.

"Why not, it's decided, how to shoot, you can discuss it with Brother Hao then." Lin Yuquan glared at him, turned his head and said to Ning Hao with a smile: "Brother Hao, what movie are you going to make yourself, you are now a director who has attracted much attention, presumably your new movie, many fans are looking forward to it." ”

After nearly a month and a half of release, "Love Call Transfer" has begun to roll off the assembly line in China and Hong Kong and Taiwan, after the box office of 25.3 million on the weekend of the first week, the time has entered the new year, in the second week of the film's release, thanks to the good reputation, the box office of "Love Call Transfer" continued to be hot, winning 30.7 million in a single week, once again ranking second in the weekly box office list in the mainland.

In the following weeks, "Love Call Transfer" was also firmly suppressed by "The City Full of Golden Armor", but after winning 10.5 million, 6 million, 2.3 million, 1.1 million, and 500,000, the mainland box office of "Love Call Transfer" reached 76.4 million.

This number has surpassed "Ink Attack", "Battle of Red Cliffs", "Superman Returns", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and other films, ranking 8th in the annual box office in the mainland, and 5th in its Chinese-made films, this achievement is absolutely dazzling, you must know that the four domestic films in front of it, "Painted Skin", "The City is Full of Golden Armor", "Night Banquet", "Baby Plan" are all Chinese blockbusters with an investment of hundreds of millions.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan box office of this film is also amazing, with Hong Kong 16.5 million Hong Kong dollars and Taiwan 49 million Taiwan dollars, ranking seventh in Hong Kong's annual box office list and 15th in Taiwan's annual box office list respectively.

Such achievements have made Ning Hao seem to have become a commercial director in the mainland who is almost second only to Lin Yuquan, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige, plus he is much younger than the other three in addition to Lin Yuquan, which suddenly made him popular and is considered to be the second biggest hope for the future of mainland films, as for who the first hope is, of course, Lin Yuquan!

is so favored, which naturally makes his next movie bound to become a lot of attention, and the success or failure of the film is also related to his positioning.

"I want to make a real road comedy, but for the time being, I just have an idea, and I'm still thinking about it." Ning Hao said with a smile.

"Road comedy, that's a great idea, and it's what you're good at, but you have to hurry, you know, the company is lacking the most this year is a film project." Lin Yuquan nodded and smiled.

"I just finished filming "Crazy Racing", where is it so fast, okay, I'll try my best." Seeing Lin Yuquan's smiling expression, Ning Hao could only say helplessly in the end.

Dinner passed quickly in the conversation and laughter, and then had fun after the meal, and everyone left, because Lin's father and mother came to Kyoto tomorrow, Lin Yuquan did not stay.

And Liu Shishi and Lin Yuquan's relationship is still in a state of secrecy from her parents, of course, it is impossible to stay overnight, and she has no reason to say it to Liu's mother! Ordinary lies can't be hidden from the shrewd mother Liu,

After everyone left, Lin Yuquan returned to his study and continued to ponder his new movie script. (To be continued) R466
